2 and a terminal 4 that receives a load control signal from the master unit 2 via a communication line and controls the load 5, and a pseudo-function that has an alternative function or new function of the master unit 2 and is connected to the communication line. It has a base unit 6.

制御信号や監視信号の送受信が行われる。Between the master unit 2 and the pseudo master unit 6 and between the pseudo master unit 6 and the terminal unit 4, cyclic transmission is performed by time division multiplex transmission via the master unit side communication line 3a and the terminal unit side communication line 3b, respectively. Control signals and supervisory signals are transmitted and received.

Side communication means 6c, the communication line switching means 6d for connecting or disconnecting the master side communication line 3a and the terminal side communication line 3b, the terminal unit 6e receiving the control signal from the master unit 2, the communication of the master unit 2 It consists of a timer 6f that measures the stop time.

再び接続する。The communication line switching means 6d connects the master side communication line 3a and the terminal side communication line 3b when the apparatus is activated. When the terminal unit 6e receives the operation signal from the master unit 2, it disconnects both communication lines, and when it receives the stop signal, it reconnects both communication lines.

First, at startup, since the base unit side communication line 3a and the terminal unit side communication line 3b are connected, if the base unit 2 transmits a load control signal, it is directly received by the terminal unit 4. As a result, the terminal 4 controls the load 5 connected to itself. Then, when the master device 2 transmits the load monitoring signal, the terminal device 4 which directly receives the load monitoring signal monitors the load 5 connected to itself and directly transmits the load state signal to the master device 2. In this way, the master 5 controls and monitors the load 5.

規の制御機能を行うことができる。When performing a new control function of the pseudo master device 6, an operation signal is transmitted from the master device 2 to the terminal unit 6e of the pseudo master device 6. As a result, the communication line switching means 6d disconnects the master unit side communication line 3a and the terminal side communication line 3b. After that, the pseudo master unit 6 performs a new control function and the same control and monitoring of the load 5 as the master unit 2. When the new control function is not needed, the master unit 2 sends a stop signal to the terminal unit 6e of the pseudo master unit 6, and the communication line switching means 6d causes the master unit side communication line 3a and the terminal side communication line 3b. Connect. After that,
The base unit 2 again controls and monitors the load 5. With such a configuration, a new control function can be performed without replacing the base unit 2.

滑に制御を行うことができる。Further, the pseudo master unit 6 confirms the load control signal and the load monitoring signal which are cyclically transmitted and received when the master unit 2 is operating, by the master unit side communication means 6b, and the transmission and reception is performed. If stopped, timer 6f measures the stop time. If the stop time exceeds a predetermined time, it is determined that the master unit 2 has failed, and the communication line switching means 6d disconnects the master unit side communication line 3a and the terminal side communication line 3b. After that, the pseudo master
6 performs control and monitoring of load 5 instead of base unit 2 or a new control function. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent an uncontrollable state and smoothly perform control even if the base unit 2 fails.

に負荷を制御することができる。Since the load control device of the present invention inserts and connects a pseudo master unit having an alternative function or a new function of the master unit between the master unit and the slave unit, there is no need to replace the master unit and the load controller can be easily replaced. A new function can be added to. Further, even if the parent device fails, the pseudo parent device can perform the substitute function, and thus the load can be smoothly controlled.
